Once again, Evan at Live2Kite and Kirk Talon of ON SCENE Safety will be offering a free CPR certification course for the kite community. Basic First-Aid topics will also be covered with a focus on water and kite related injuries.

We'd like to get representation from all local spots so there will be trained people to get things under control should an "incident" ever occur.

Class is typically over by ~3pm - you will leave with a 2 year CPR certification card. We'll also have a line knife 'test station' where you can try your kite knife(s) on REAL kite line.

If you want to attend, please email cpr@lansharks.net with your real first and last name (so we can get working on your certification card and logistics). Note: this is for the kiter community and not for instructors or their schools. If you're interested for certs for a school or business, please contact Kirk Talon at besafe@onscenesafety.com

In terms of getting a CPR cert, it doesn't get any better than spending a morning with a bunch of kiters, surrounded by killer gear in a kite store! Hope to see you there and thanks again to Live2kite (for hosting!) and ON SCENE/Kirk Talon (for doing the class!) Bagels and coffee sponsored by Bay Area Kiteboarding.
